Una obra maestra de la ganadora del Premio Nobel de Literatura 1993.

Esta es la historia de Sula y Nel, dos niñas que crecen juntas en un barrio de negros, compartiendo sus sueños e ilusiones. Ambas son precoces y curiosas, hijas de familias pobres. Pero el tiempo pasa y, cuando Nel se casa, Sula se marcha del suburbio para ir a la universidad y viajar por el país. Diez años después, Sula regresa e involuntariamente destruye la familia y la felicidad de Nel. A partir de entonces, los pintorescos habitantes del suburbio la consideran una bruja malvada...

Ambientada en los EE.UU. en el período de entreguerras, Sula es un portentoso retrato del poder de lo femenino en una comunidad pobre y rural de negros, donde las mujeres reinan como madres, hechiceras y depositarias de la tradición oral.

Reseña:
«Un aullido de amor y rabia, travieso y divertido, duro y amargo.»
The New York Times

      It was called "the Bottom," the hilly Negro section of town that a white farmer fooled his freed Negro into thinking was bottom land. "The bottom of heaven," he had called it. But it was a deceit and, because it was payment for a favor, a betrayal. Those who live in the Bottom, like Nell and Sula, have learned to endure betrayal and go on, smothering their anger with betrayal in their turn. Lynne Thigpen's narration possesses a grace and reserve that moderates Morrison's rich irony and makes tolerable her pain. Thigpen has a controlled intensity that ranges from anger, to wearied acceptance, to a lilting embrace of this betrayal. Thigpen's reading and Sula's own treachery remind us that the bottom of heaven, after all, is not far from hell. P.E.F. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

      Toni Morrison truly understands the power of language. In recording her 1973 novel, Morrison takes the opportunity to use the power of the spoken word to present her stunning language and images. It's particularly unusual for an author to record a book that is not new, but in doing so, Morrison provides an audio gem that can be cherished within the whole body of audiobook recordings. Her smooth, mellifluous voice has so much command over each word. She honors each sound and expresses each image vividly. While most listening can accompany other tasks like driving or exercising, Morrison smoothly draws the listener to complete attention. This is compelling listening: a dazzling presentation of Sula and Nel's lives, loves and losses, and of Morrison's brilliance. R.F.W.
